kdsingh80 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20110113/punjab.htm#6 Africa land of opportunity’ Dharmendra Joshi Tribune News Service Jalandhar, January 12 Africa is a continent of vast opportunities for those in search of greener pastures. Indians especially Punjabis, interested to settle abroad, should go for any of the 54 countries of this continent. During his visit to his native place here on Wednesday, Honorary Consul-General of India in Liberia, Upjit Singh Sachdeva, said, “Punjabis usually prefer England, US and Canada in their sarch for greener pastures but Africa is a continent which is still not much explored.” Among the natural resources with which Africa was abundantly endowed were oil, gold, iron ore, diamond, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, plutonium, exotic woods, tropical fruits, rubber, cocoa, coffee and cashew nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Individuals like Saudi Prince Al-waleed bin Talal has been talking about the long term potential and investing in Africa for years. If only they would stop killing and raping each other and look under their feet at the immense wealth they walk on. They would benefit rather than wealth leaving their countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I know plenty of Sikh 'dugoos' who tell of treating Africans like lesser beings when they were there. I'm not surprised they look down on 'asians'. I know in Kenya Sikhs in particular have a rep for being sly bastards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
